* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Season 4's two-parter "[[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS4EP6 Knock it Off]]" has one-shot villain Professor [[MeaningfulName Dick Hardly]]. Introduced as the [[{{Jerkass}} sleazy college roommate]] of Professor Utonium, Dick quickly sees the potential of the Powerpuff Girls as a way to get rich quick. Getting the girls to supply him with Chemical X, Dick makes his own knock-offs of the girls and starts a business selling these copies as superheroes. Due to Dick's greed, however, these knock-offs have been created with minimum materials and Chemical X, meaning that, even though they are aware, they are mentally stunted and physically deformed. When the effort of superheroing causes the knock-offs to [[BodyHorror fall apart]], Dick's happy because it means he gets to sell even more copies. At one point Dick notices one of his knock-offs is a perfect Buttercup copy, his response is to order the girl melted down for her "excessive" Chemical X. The episode's climax has Dick capturing the real Powerpuff Girls and killing them slowly by draining them of their Chemical X. When Utonium offers to be a slave, making Chemical X for Dick for the rest of his life, if Dick will let the girls live, Dick only laughs and says he'll kill the girls ''and'' keep Utonium as a slave. {{Greed}} incarnate, Dick Hardly was notable for being the only villain on the show to be played [[KnightOfCerebus completely seriously]], with [[VileVillainSaccharineShow no humorous quirks to detract from his viciousness]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': While most of this show’s villains had some form of redeeming quality, Helga Von Guggen was an exception. A {{greed}}y fashion designer, she makes [[GenuineHumanHide "seamless" fur coats]] by kidnapping innocent people, injecting them with a serum that turns them into PettingZooPeople, then [[FlayedAlive skinning them alive]] in what appears to be a giant industrial crusher. She brags about one of her coats, claiming that it's "genuine lawyer." She later designs a line of apparel that crushes people who wear them, with heavy implications that it manages to kill an innocent shopper [[KilledOffscreen off-screen]] just in the opening minutes of the episode it was introduced.

The Beast later makes a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with Greg]] to show him and his brother, Wirt, the way home, however said deal was just a trick to drive the boy into despair.
